Why is this workshop so expensive?

This is a non-profit event.  The registration fee is cheaper than comparable double-weekend seminars and goes fully towards covering the cost of the event.  That said, we do not want money to be an issue.  Please contact us at bridgesmac@gmail.com

Can I attend only the first weekend (Level 1 certification)?

We strongly encourage you to attend both weekends to benefit from the full program and complete training for both levels 1 and 2.  However, if you are only able to attend one weekend, please email bridgesmac@gmail.com and we will try our best to accomodate this request, without you having to pay the full price.

Will baby-sitting be provided?

Currently, there is no plan to provide baby-sitting.  However, if there is enough demand, we will consider it.

How do I register for a group?

Just click the registration button, fill in your information, select the group option, and pay the $400 (group of 5) or $600 (group of 10) on a single credit card. Then email us the names of the group members to bridgesmac@gmail.com from the same email account you used to register.

If I register with a group of 5 or 10, do I have to register separately for the 1-on-1 training session?

Yes.

How can I take level 3 before level 2?

Yes. The first weekend is level 1, the second weekend is level 2, and the week in between is the 1-on-1 level 3 training. This is ok, as level 2 is not a prerequisite to level 3. Moreover this workshop format has been tried and tested with great success in many cities internationally.
